  • Early Mycenaean Arkadia: Space and Place(S) of an Inland and Mountainous Region
    Early Mycenaean Arkadia: Space and Place(s) of an Inland and Mountainous Region Eleni Salavoura1 Abstract: The concept of space is an abstract and sometimes a conventional term, but places – where people dwell, (inter)act and gain experiences – contribute decisively to the formation of the main characteristics and the identity of its residents. Arkadia, in the heart of the Peloponnese, is a landlocked country with small valleys and basins surrounded by high mountains, which, according to the ancient literature, offered to its inhabitants a hard and laborious life. Its rough terrain made Arkadia always a less attractive area for archaeological investigation. However, due to its position in the centre of the Peloponnese, Arkadia is an inevitable passage for anyone moving along or across the peninsula. The long life of small and medium-sized agrarian communities undoubtedly owes more to their foundation at crossroads connecting the inland with the Peloponnesian coast, than to their potential for economic growth based on the resources of the land. However, sites such as Analipsis, on its east-southeastern borders, the cemetery at Palaiokastro and the ash altar on Mount Lykaion, both in the southwest part of Arkadia, indicate that the area had a Bronze Age past, and raise many new questions. In this paper, I discuss the role of Arkadia in early Mycenaean times based on settlement patterns and excavation data, and I investigate the relation of these inland communities with high-ranking central places. In other words, this is an attempt to set place(s) into space, supporting the idea that the central region of the Peloponnese was a separated, but not isolated part of it, comprising regions that are also diversified among themselves.

  • Erik Østby: the SANCTUARY of ALEA at TEGEA in the PRE-CLASSICAL PERIOD
    T I.i Erik Østby: THE SANCTUARY OF ALEA AT TEGEA IN THE PRE-CLASSICAL PERIOD Origin and early development of the sanctuary first priestess of the goddess, was seduced or raped by Heracles at the fountain in the sanctuary, and gave birth According to the review of Arcadian origins provided to their son Telephos; he was then miraculously saved by Pausanias, Tegea was founded as a community and from the king’s attempts to eliminate him, and in some owed its name to Tegeates, one of the many grandsons way or other emigrated to Asia Minor, where he was later of Pelasgos who created such communities in Arcadia claimed by the Pergamene kings as the mythical ancestor in the third generation after the mythical ancestor of the of their community. For this reason his story became a Arcadian people. This Tegeates, probably an eponymous favourite subject in Pergamene official art.4 (Fig. 2) The figure created from the toponym and not based on story as such is best known from late sources, when it genuine, old traditions, was said to have created eight had gained notoriety because of the Pergamene interest out of the traditional nine districts or δήμοι where the in it; but Auge’s fate was exploited in lost tragedies by inhabitants of Tegea were settled.1 (Fig. 1) Three more Sophocles and Euripides, Pausanias twice cites Hekataios generations were to pass, however, before Aleos, son as a source for her affair with Heracles, and there is even of Apheidas who had created the ninth deme,2 chose earlier evidence for the story in a fragment of Hesiod.5 Tegea

  • An Allied History of the Peloponnesian League: Elis, Tegea, and Mantinea
    An Allied History of the Peloponnesian League: Elis, Tegea, and Mantinea By James Alexander Caprio B.A. Hamilton College, 1994 M.A. Tufts University, 1997 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Department of Classical, Near Eastern, and Religious Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA January, 2005 © James A. Caprio, 2005 Abstract Elis, Tegea, and Mantinea became members of the Peloponnesian League at its inception in 506, although each had concluded an alliance with Sparta much earlier. The initial arrangement between each city-state and Sparta was reciprocal and membership in the League did not interfere with their individual development. By the fifth century, Elis, Mantinea, and Tegea had created their own symmachies and were continuing to expand within the Peloponnesos. Eventually, the prosperity and growth of these regional symmachies were seen by Sparta as hazardous to its security. Hostilities erupted when Sparta interfered with the intent to dismantle these leagues. Although the dissolution of the allied leagues became an essential factor in the preservation of Sparta's security, it also engendered a rift between its oldest and most important allies. This ultimately contributed to the demise of Spartan power in 371 and the termination of the Peloponnesian League soon thereafter. 11 TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ii Table of Contents iii List of Maps iv List of Abbreviations v Acknowledgements viii Introduction • 1 Chapter One: Elis 20 Chapter Two: Tegea and southern Arkadia 107 Chapter Three: Mantinea and northern Arkadia 181 Conclusion 231 Bibliography , 234 iii Maps Map 1: Elis 21 Map 2: Tegean Territory 108 Map 3: The Peloponnesos 109 Map 4: Phigalia 117 Map 5: Mantinea and Tegea 182 Map 6: Mantinea and its environs 182 Abbreviations Amit, Poleis M.

The pieces are the right side of one column; a lower margin of 2 cm is preserved in fragment 1. The writing runs against the fibers and may be compared in the formation of its letters to P. Oxy. 3229, Hesiod Erga which is dated to the middle or later second century AD; but the handwriting of the Michigan papyrus is smaller and less well executed. The letters are regular, formal rounded capitals. The papyrus has no diacritical marks, perhaps with one exception: there seems to be a high stop at the end of line 15 (see note ad loc.).1 Horizontal strokes function as line fillers at the end of lines 5 and 10 of fr. 1 and line 2 of fr. 2. The utmost right margin of both fragments is slightly thicker than the rest of the papyrus, and there are indications that here was collesis. On the front of the papyrus where the writing runs parallel to the fibres no such indications exist; they would have appeared to the right of the extant fragments. The text is on the back of a documentary papyrus which yields no information for the date of the piece.

  • O Oceanids (Ὠκεανίδες). the 'Holy Company' of Daughters of *Ocean and *Tethys, and Sisters of the River-Gods. Their N
    O Oceanids (Ὠκεανίδες). The 'holy company' of daughters of *Ocean and *Tethys, and sisters of the river-gods. Their number varies, but Apollodorus names seven (Asia, *Styx, Electra, Doris, Eurynome, *Amphitrite, *Metis) and Hesiod forty-one, including, in addition to those mentioned by Apollodorus, *Calypso *Clymene and Philyra. Most of those named mated with gods (Amphitrite with Poseidon, Doris with Nereus for example) and produced important offspring (Athena was born from Metis and Zeus, Philyra mated with Kronos in the form of a horse and produced the centaur Chiron, Clymene was the mother of Prometheus, and also bore Phaethon to Helius the sun-god.). The sons of Ocean were the fresh-water rivers, but some of the daughters were sea-nymphs, others spirits of streams called after a characteristic of their water such as Ocyrrhoe ('swift-flowing') or Xanthe ('brownish-yellow'); Styx, unusually, was a female river deity, personifying the river of Hades. Calypso ruled over the island kingdom of Ogygia (but her parentage as a true Oceanid is disputed). Metis had the ability, common to sea-gods, of being able to change her shape, although she was little more than the personification of wisdom, swallowed by Zeus in order to absorb that wisdom and to contain any threat from the child with whom she was pregnant. Oceanids feature as the chorus in Prometheus Bound, a tragedy which is set at the north-eastern edge of the known world, and at a time before Zeus had consolidated his power. The Oceanids were part of the older, pre-Olympian race of gods, who had a role as consorts or mothers of other divinities, but were more often viewed anonymously as belonging to the vastness of the sea, to be placated in times of storm and turbulence.

In gratitude Ken Dowden Fritz Graf Pierre Vidal-Naquet (1930–2006) Preface Many scholars have special interests that drive them to return again and again to specific subjects. Throughout my career I have remained fascinated by an- cient myths and rituals of initiation, mainly those involving the transition of boys into manhood. This interest may well have something to do with my own coming of age during the 1960s, a period that saw an unprecedented explosion of youth culture. It was certainly in the late 1960s that the most influential stud- ies of ancient initiation first appeared, attracting the attention of a number of classical scholars belonging to roughly the same age group: Claude Calame, Fritz Graf, Christiane Sourvinou-Inwood (1945–2008), Jack Winkler (1943– 1990) and myself.

For the facts of his life we are dependent wholly upon the fragmentary information that he scattered casually throughout his writings. From these we learn that he was born in the small Boeotian town of Chaeroneia in Greece, between 46 and 51 A. D., of a family of good standing and long residence there; that he married a certain Timoxena, to whom he wrote a tender letter of consolation on the death of their daughter; and that he had four sons, to two of whom he dedicated one of his philosophical treatises. He began the study of philosophy at Athens, travelled to Alexandria and in various parts of Italy, and sojourned for a considerable period in Rome; but he seems to have continued to regard Chaeroneia as his home, and here he did a large part of his writing and took his share in public service.

  • The Fortifications of Arkadian Poleis in the Classical and Hellenistic Periods
    THE FORTIFICATIONS OF ARKADIAN POLEIS IN THE CLASSICAL AND HELLENISTIC PERIODS by Matthew Peter Maher BA, The University of Western Ontario, 2002 BA, The University of Western Ontario, 2005 MA, The University of British Columbia, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Classics) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) March 2012 © Matthew Peter Maher, 2012 Abstract This study comprises a comprehensive and detailed account of the historical development of Greek military architecture and defensive planning specifically in Arkadia in the Classical and Hellenistic periods. It aims to resolve several problems, not least of all, to fill the large gap in our knowledge of both Arkadian fortifications and the archaeology record on the individual site level. After establishing that the Arkadian settlements in question were indeed poleis, and reviewing all previous scholarship on the sites, the fortification circuit of each polis is explored through the local history, the geographical/topographical setting, the architectural components of the fortifications themselves, and finally, the overall defensive planning inherent in their construction. Based an understanding of all of these factors, including historical probability, a chronology of construction for each site is provided. The synthesis made possible by the data gathered from the published literature and collected during the field reconnaissance of every site, has confirmed a number of interesting and noteworthy regionally specific patterns. Related to chronology, it is significant that there is no evidence for fortified poleis in Arkadia during the Archaic period, and when the poleis were eventually fortified in the Classical period, the fact that most appeared in the early fourth century BCE, strategically distributed in limited geographic areas, suggests that the larger defensive concerns of the Arkadian League were a factor.
